A Manhattan grand jury indicted 26-year-old Luigi Mangione on Tuesday, slamming him with 11 counts, including first-degree murder, for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. If convicted, Mangione faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office.
During a press conference, Bragg spoke of the case, saying, “This was a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation . . . This was a killing that was intended to evoke terror and we’ve seen that reaction. This was not an ordinary killing. Not to suggest that any killing is ordinary, but this was extraordinary.”
